• Exeter Handkerchief Factory hits market at $3.5M (nhbr.com) — A prominent Lincoln Street industrial property next to Exeter’s Amtrak station is on the market for $3.5 million, opening the door to major new development. The longtime Exeter Handkerchief Factory site sits in a mixed-use zone encouraging dense housing over commercial space, and developers from around New England are already exploring its potential, which could significantly reshape this gateway to downtown.
